Speaker Asad Qaiser Rejects His Involvment In ‘Horse-trading’ Video Scandal

Islamabad: Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser on Wednesday distanced himself from the “horse-trading” video that allegedly shows PTI MPAs receiving money to vote against their party in the Senate elections 2018.

Qaiser took to Twitter to say that the video had not been shot at his official residence, rather the place that can be seen in it is from the Speaker House in Peshawar.

“The place that you see in the video is from the Speaker House in Peshawar. I have no link whatsoever with this episode,” he said.

Qaiser further said that in 2018, PM Imran Khan had informed him about several PTI MPAs selling their votes for money, adding that the entire party had decided to take action against the PTI MPAs who were involved in the controversy.

“Statements like these are only an attempt to deflect from the actual issue,” he said, referring to the statement against him by former PTI MPA Mayar.
